Symbols used to mark instructions Safety instructions in these operating instructions which must be observed to prevent risks to persons are marked with this danger symbol. This indicates tips and instructions to simplify work and to ensure safe operation. Before using the high-pressure cleaner, be sure to also read the enclosed operating instructions and keep them within reach at all times.
2 Description 2.1 2.2 Purpose Operating elements This high-pressure cleaner has been designed for professional use in Chapter 5 describes the use of the high-pressure cleaner for various cleaning jobs. – Agriculture – industry – transport industry – automotive cleaning – municipal facilities – cleaning trade – construction industry etc. Always use the cleaner as described in these operating instructions.
4. Check whether the oil level is between the minimum and maximum marks. If necessary, add oil (see chapter 9.4 for type of oil). 3.2 Connecting the high pressure hose (single user) 1. Put the quick connector of the high pressure hose onto the nipple on the cleaner. 1. Put the quick connector of the distributor manifold onto the nipple of the high pressure washer 2. Put the quick connector of the high pressure hoses onto the nipples of the distributor manifold. 3.2.
3.4 Electrical connection The cleaner may only be connected to a correctly installed electrical installation. 3.5 Antifreeze - before first use When using a cord reel: 1. Release brake of the cord reel. 2. Unwind the cord completely. 1. Observe safety instructions in chapter 1. 2. Put the plug into the electrical socket. The machine is protected with anti-freeze from the factory. Catch the liquid discharging at first (approx. 1 l) for re-use in a container. 4 Control / Operation 4.
4.3 Pressure regulation (Tornado Lance) 1. Turn the twist grip on the spray unit: – High pressure = clockwise (+) – Low pressure = anticlockwise (–) 4.4 Pressure regulation on the machine 1. Set pressure and water volume by twisting the pressure/volume regulation knob on the machine. 5 Applications and methods 5.1 Techniques Efficient high pressure cleaning is achieved by following a few guidelines, combined with your own personal experience of specific cleaning tasks.
5.1.4 Mechanical Effect In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical effect may be required. Special lances and rotary or wash brushes offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt. 5.1.5 High Water Flow or High Pressure High pressure is not always the best solution and high pressure may damage surfaces. The cleaning effect also depends upon water flow. Pressure levels of around 100 bar may be sufficient for vehicle cleaning (in association with hot water).
5.2.3 Buildings and Equipment Task Accessories General surfaces Foam injectors Standard lance Metallic equipment Curved lances Tank cleaning head Detergents Intensive J25 Multi Combi Aktive Alkafoam Disinfectant DES 3000 Rusted or damages surfaces prior to treatment Wet Sandblasting equipment Method 1. Apply thick foam over the surfaces to be cleaned. Apply on dry surfaces. Apply from top to bottom on vertical surfaces. Let the foam act for up to 30 minutes for the optimal effect. 2.
6.3 Rolling up the electrical lead and storing accessories Risk of tripping! To prevent accidents, always carefully roll up the electrical lead. 1. Wind up the high pressure hose. 2. Place the spray lance into the spray lance storage. 6.4 Storing the cleaner (below 0°C) 1. Store the cleaner in a dry room without danger of frost or protect as below: CAUTION! If the high-pressure cleaner is stored in a room with temperatures around or below 0°C, antifreeze should be drawn into the pump beforehand: 1.
7 Maintenance 7.1 Maintenance plan Weekly 7.2.1 Cleaning water inlet filter 7.2.2 Checking pump oil level 7.2.3 Changing pump oil After the first 50 operating hours Every six months or 500 operating hours As required 7.2 Maintenance work 7.2.1 Cleaning water inlet filter A water filter is fitted on the water inlet to prevent large particles of dirt from entering into the pump. 1. Unscrew the quick-release connection. 2. Remove the filter and rinse it. Replace damaged filter.
8 Troubleshooting Fault Pressure drop Pressure fluctuations The motor does not start when the cleaner is switched on When the cleaner is switched on the motor buzzes without starting The motor switches off Cause Remedy > Air in the system • Vent the system by operating the spray gun several times at short intervals. If necessary, operate the cleaner for a short time without the highpressure hose connected.
9 Further information 9.1 Recycling the cleaner Make the old cleaner unusable immediately. 1. Unplug the cleaner and cut the power cord. Do not discard of electrical appliances with household waste. As specified in European Directive 2012/19/EU on old electrical and electronic appliances, used electrical goods must be collected separately and recycled ecologically. Contact your local authorities or your nearest dealer for further information. 9.
